We've hit another milestone. Benjamin is 4 weeks old! We went to our breastfeeding support group today and Ben weighed in at 9 lbs 14 oz. He's a growing boy. Just 2 weeks ago at group he weighed only 8 lbs 4 oz. He has been sleeping great. The last few nights he's taken a bottle from Eric at 10pm. He's been asleep by 11pm and doesn't wake up until 4 or 5am. That's been very nice to get that long of a stretch of sleep.Benjamin has also been awake a lot during the day. I love this time because he just sits and stares at me while I talk to him. He enjoys tummy time and he's starting to turn toward us when we talk to him. He also seems to be focusing in more on objects.
We've realized his fussy time is at about 8pm when he's fighting sleep. He gets very angry for about 10-15 minutes - and then he passes out! It's all trial and error!
This weekend is father's day and Eric's parents will be visiting us. We're going to the Royals game on Sunday. It's supposed to be 90 degrees - so Ben & I may have to drive separately in case he can't make it through the whole game!
Well - back to working on some stuff around the house while he naps!
He's growing so fast! That's great that he'll take a bottle. It gives him and Eric some good bonding time.
ReplyDeleteMariella used to have that 15 minute scream fest too, right around 8-9 PM. She did the same thing, and would just pass out. I don't remember when she stopped doing that.
He is going to be a big boy. I think its great he'll take a bottle.
ReplyDeleteI also LOVE how he's looking at the camera!
